Shadowblade

A shadowblade is a ninja that forgoes sneak attack, rather relying on flashes of psychic inspirations and weapons made entirely of her own ki.

Class: Ninja

Level: 1st-20th

Replaces: Skills per level, Sneak Attack

Benefit: A shadowblade gain the following class features:

Armor Proficiency: A shadowblade is proficient with light armor, medium armor and all shields (except tower shields).

Ki Weapon (Su): A shadowblade is capable of forming weapons out of her ki. This functions as a Soulknife’s mind blade with the following exceptions. A shadowblade can shape her mind blade in the form of any melee she is proficient with when she manifests it. She may shape her ki weapon into two weapons, but doing so reduces the total enhancement value of both weapons by 1. A shadowblade must have at least 1 point of ki to manifest her ki weapon.

At 3rd level she gains the enhance mind blade class feature of a soulknife of her class level.

This ability replaces the sneak attack attack dice gained at 1st level.

Shadow Strike (Su): A 3rd level gains the psychic strike class feature of a soulknife of her class level.

This ability replaces the sneak attack attack dice gained at 3rd level.

Weapon Training (Ex): At 5th level a shadowblade gains a fighter’s weapon training ability, using her ninja level as her effective fighter level. Instead of choosing a weapon group, the bonus applies to any weapon created by her ki weapon class feature. The shadowblade does not gain any further weapon group.

This ability replaces the sneak attack attack dice gained at 5th level and further.
